Worrying sight: People walking by part of the land clearing activity near Jalan Berapit – Mengkuang in Berapit, Bukit Mertajam.
BUKIT MERTAJAM: A developer in Kampung Besar Berapit near here has been slapped with a stop-work order by the authorities after failing to mitigate soil erosion on the cliffs at its project site, about 600m from the Mengkuang Dam.
At the entrance beside Jalan Berapit, the construction notice board says that the developer is building a three-storey birdhouse for swallows on the lot, with the plan approved in December 2016.
